@metronome49: He's not dismissing those games. He's just acknowledging that they're not things he's interested in playing. It's entirely possible to acknowledge a game's quality while remaining uninterested in actually playing it.

@Datacide: I got to goof around with one of the new, glare-free LCD color Nooks the other day and I have to say I don't think it was any harder to bear than any of the Kindle models I've used.

@cippycup: I'm not interested in E-Ink Color at all. It's technically inferior to Pixel Qi in just about every way imaginable. And while I agree that as a standard a lot of manufacturers are working hard on bringing color to E-Ink, Barnes & Noble just went full LCD for the Nook Color. The non-immediate future (maybe…

@Andy French: I didn't mean to imply in any way that Activision had any power to hurt Bungie in any way... thus, why I said partnership. I'm just trying to point out that Activision's got a weird run of bad decisions going on, and I wouldn't want to be part of it.

Activision buys Guitar Hero, ruins it... Warriors of Rock performs disastrously across three consoles.

@RedRaptor: Actually, if the reported sales figures for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock are to be believed, heads are going to roll for that one. I read a figure that quoted first-week sales of 100,000 units across three consoles.

Yeah, this is going to work. It's going to be like the arms escalation between Sony and DarkAlex over the PSP... only now it's going to be an attention-divided Netflix against the power of XDA. Netflix doesn't have a chance.

He looks like that one dude from The Vampire Diaries after a months-long Cheetos bender. I can't imagine his girlfriend is someone I want to see naked.

@MakinBacon: Wow. That was outstanding.

Jesus, that is cool. I can't imagine they'd ever let anyone play with the property officially in this manner, but I wish they would.

@thelastlambda: I'd imagine it's a World War One reference, myself.

This is so awesome. The indie XNA community is full of heroes.

@Jordan White: Actually there's plenty to suggest that the Wii is secondary to most people who own one, even the ones who don't own anything else. Look at attach rates for the console relative to its competition. Look at the articles published about Nintendo's own findings when they polled web-connected Wiis to see…

@Jordan White: I'm not going to focus much on how utterly foolish it is to make a statement like it's a monster in terms of content when talking about a handheld that doesn't yet exist in the wild. There is no launch lineup confirmed yet, and there isn't even a non-generalised western release date for the 3DS itself…

The App Store has a lot of stuff... a lot more than the Android Market. But the Market has a twenty-four hour window for returns to prevent this exact type of scam. Apple needs to copy that feature immediately. Developers of crap like this deserve all the vitriol they receive.

I'm glad the four people on Earth who didn't previously have the means to play Angry Birds can now enjoy the phenomenon, but this is comical saturation. I just hope they do something innovative with the upcoming multiplayer and make it so 360 players and WP7 gamers can play against each other cross-platform style.

I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully Kmart will have a great deal on it as a new release like always.

@Soul Owned: That's an interesting supposition, and I don't necessarily disagree. The only confusing thing to me is this: if Nintendo are content to be everyone's secondary console for another generation, what's the rush? The Wii's behind-the-times-since-it-was-released hardware is certainly adequate now if it ever…

@booniebrew: The problem is that if Nintendo goes first, they've got to create a console compelling enough to keep the audience's interest when the competitors come out. By my thinking, there are two ways to accomplish this: with hardware advanced enough (and therefore compelling enough) to set the pace for the…

@Jordan White: I'm impressed. That might be the single most ill-considered comment I've ever heard. Greater connectivity options and improved specs aside, the only thing that makes the 3DS a truly noteworthy successor to the DS is the glasses-free 3D screen, which is most certainly not going to be a factor in…
